In the middle of the night, in the dead of night, the little black beetle transformed by Zhang Tie flew out of the window of a luxurious room on the 38th floor of a hotel on the edge of Xijian Lake, and flew directly towards the Prince's Mansion in Datang City...
During the day, the taxi driver had taken Zhang Tierao around the Prince's Mansion. Under Lianhua's eyes, Zhang Tie had seen the Prince's Mansion clearly, so where was the Prince's Mansion? Zhang Tie It can be regarded as a familiar road.
Datang City had fallen into a deep sleep at this time. Except for the street lights on the roads in the city and the lights in a few buildings, the entire city fell into silence, which was completely opposite to the noise during the day.
It had been a long time since Zhang Tie had used the incarnation of a little beetle. When he transformed into a little beetle again, Zhang Tie felt that unrestrained feeling again.
Zhang Tie's incarnation of a small beetle flew in the air more than a hundred meters high. The figure blessed with the super stealth technique flickered like a speck of dust in the air, and flew directly towards the prince's mansion. Just two In more than ten minutes, the prince's mansion that he had seen during the day appeared in front of Zhang Tie again.
The Prince's Mansion is located in the center of Datang City, covering an area of about 4 square kilometers. There is a military camp guarding the Prince's Mansion next to it. The entire Prince's Mansion is very heavily guarded. From the air, Zhang Tie can see the entire Prince's Mansion. The street lights outside are all bright, and the patrolling guards are patrolling one after another. There are almost no blind spots in the entire prince's mansion.
Of course, this is only for ordinary people. At Zhang Tie's level, these ordinary guards are just a decoration in his eyes. What really worries Zhang Tie is the hidden people around Xuanyuan Wuji. With Xuanyuan Wuji's personality, Zhang Tie simply did not believe that there was no expert protection around him, and did not consider the situation of someone assassinating him. Before taking action, Zhang Tie must fully grasp this information, so that he can truly make a targeted decision. The more information he can master about the prince's palace, the more calm he will be when he actually takes action.
Just above the head of a group of patrol sergeants, Zhang Tie flew into the high wall of the Prince's Mansion without any hindrance, then slowed down and flew towards the residential area outside the Prince's Mansion where servants and attendants lived. passed.
In just a moment, the little black beetle transformed by Zhang Tie flew to the living area of the servants in the Prince's Mansion without any danger, and got into a servant's room.
There were two beds in the room, and two servants lived there. They were already asleep. The room was dark, without any lights. A small black beetle came into the room and just lingered beside the bed. The little beetle disappeared, and Zhang Tie appeared in the room like an illusory ghost, his feet not touching the ground.
The two servants sleeping in the room were both tall and thick men. They were sleeping soundly at the moment. Zhang Tie, who appeared in the room, stretched his hand to one person's forehead. When the person was unaware, he had already used The secret method directly read out the memory of the prince's residence in the past two months from that person's head.
Soul reading has side effects on the person whose soul is being read. If you want to read everything in this person's head, this person may become an idiot, but it only reads the last two months. From memory, under Zhang Tie's increasing proficiency in the Blood Soul Temple's secret method, the side effects of the soul reading technique are almost negligible and difficult to be noticed by others. For the person whose soul is read, it is just like doing something. Just some long and draining dreams.
The first person whose soul was read by Zhang Tie was the gardener of the prince's mansion, who had been working in the prince's mansion for nearly twenty years.
After reading out the gardener's memories of the past two months, Zhang Tie immediately obtained a lot of more useful information - the topography of the entire prince's mansion, where is the garden, where is the inner courtyard, where is the place where the servants live, where is the Where the guards live, where the people around the prince live, where the third prince Xuanyuan Wuji probably lives, and who in the prince's residence often comes into contact with Xuanyuan Wuji, this information is no longer a secret to Zhang Tie in just a short time.
Moreover, the gardener had seen Xuanyuan Wuji when he was pruning the garden a month ago. At that time, the gardener was pruning the dead branches in the garden. Xuanyuan Wuji and several followers suddenly came from the back flower hall of the Prince's Mansion. When he came out, the gardener was so frightened that he quickly bowed down and saluted, not daring to move. At that time, before bowing his head, Xuanyuan Wuji's face was still glanced at by him, and it remained in his memory. middle.
—Tall, wearing a goose-yellow top-quality python silk robe, which gives people a strong sense of oppression. His face shape is about 45% similar to that of Xuanyuan Changying, but his eyes are more narrow, his lips are slightly thinner, and his cheekbones under his eyes are very powerful. Towering.
This is what Xuanyuan Wuji looks like.
After obtaining this information, Zhang Tie did not stay in this room any longer. The other person sleeping in the room was also a gardener. There would be no more information than this person. Zhang Tie no longer wasted time. The shape instantly disappeared like a ghost, leaving no trace in the room. Then the incarnation of the small black beetle appeared again and flew out of the vent of the window in the room.
A few minutes later, Zhang Tie appeared in a residential area not far from this room. The people living here were all maids who could move around the house.
These maids have seen and come into contact with Xuanyuan Wuji more often, and they have a better understanding of many information about the prince's palace and around Xuanyuan Wuji. Just like tonight, even if many people have fallen asleep at this time, they still There are maids who stay in the inner house all night long, waiting for someone's call at any time.
Just over ten minutes later, the little black beetle transformed by Zhang Tie flew out from where the maids lived, then turned in a circle again and flew towards the residence of the guards.
The guards in the Prince's Mansion work in three shifts. There are guards patrolling at night, and there are also guards sleeping and resting.
The guards around Xuanyuan Wuji are all tenth level or above, but in Zhang Tie's eyes, these guards are no different from ordinary people. The rooms for the guards are all for one person, like a dormitory, and are much more advanced than the gardeners. , Zhang Tie easily entered the rooms of the guards, and using the same method, after reading the memories of the two guards and a fourteenth-level guard captain in the past two months, Zhang Tie learned about various information in the prince's palace. He understands the situation better than the old man who has lived in the prince's mansion for decades.
After synthesizing the information he learned, several problems that must be faced if he wants to kill Xuanyuan Wuji also appeared in Zhang Tie's mind -
First, Xuanyuan Wuji is not a scholar with no power, but a powerful knight. He practices the emperor-level "Xuanyuan Divine Transformation Sutra". An ordinary black iron knight is naturally insignificant in Zhang Tie's eyes, but A black iron knight who has practiced all the emperor-level secrets must not be underestimated. Zhang Tie understands this best. With his level, there is no doubt that he can crush Xuanyuan Wuji, but no one knows that "Xuanyuan Divine Transformation" If there are any life-saving means in the Sutra, these things must be taken into consideration.
Second, Xuanyuan Wuji is also surrounded by expert guards. The experts around him are quietly called the "Four King Kong" by the guards in the prince's palace. These four King Kong include two phantom knights and two earth knights. Very powerful. One of the two phantom knights is a royal servant around Xuanyuan Wuji and is specially placed beside Xuanyuan Wuji to protect Xuanyuan Wuji. The other three knights are Xuanyuan Wuji's biological mother and the emperor of Xuanyuan Hill. Mrs. Jiang's natal family, the clan clan of the Taixia Jiang family, and the experts sent by the powerful Tianxingtang Jiang family to station beside Xuanyuan Wuji, there is no doubt about their strength and loyalty. When it comes to taking action, these people They are all masters that they have to face.
The last issue to consider is a mysterious figure beside Xuanyuan Wuji—Fuzi Xue.
The origin of Master Xue is a bit strange. It is something that ordinary people in the Tang Dynasty talk about. It is also the origin of Master Xue in the minds of the people in the mansion. After Xuanyuan Wuji was granted the title of Datang City, he built a celebrity It was not long after the Mingshi Pavilion was built that Master Xue, who was originally unknown and wandered around Taixia, came to the Tang Dynasty and made a sensation with his popular "Jinghe Fu" in the Mingshi Pavilion. Tang City, for a time, made Luoyang the capital of the Tang Dynasty, and people rushed to praise it. Because of this "Jinghe Ode", Master Xue suddenly became the guest of the third prince Xuanyuan Wuji, and became the third prince's side writer. He is always with the third prince. Almost all correspondence and document approvals in the prince's residence are written by Master Xue.
But Master Xue’s story was okay to deceive ordinary literati and royal servants. In Zhang Tie’s eyes, this so-called “legendary story” was completely nonsense—an ordinary old gentleman deceived Xuanyuan with a gorgeous article. Wuji conquered and made Xuanyuan Wuji admire him highly and put him in high regard. Such a plot would still be possible if Xuanyuan Wuji was just an ordinary prince, a literary young man who loved poetry and songs. But what is Xuanyuan Wuji's goal? Zhang Tie It is clear that a prince who is always thinking about competing for the position of Taixia's great treasure and does not hesitate to draw several large sects to his side will fancy an old gentleman who can only write beautiful articles and calligraphy
Is there anything more fairytale than this in this world? If Xuanyuan Wuji were such a person, all demons would probably be vegetarians.
This Master Xue is always by Xuanyuan Wuji's side. Just by instinct, Zhang Tie can feel that this Master Xue may be the biggest obstacle for him to kill Xuanyuan Wuji...
